Palindromes, 3D Stereograms, Cloud Watching, and Rorschach Test

Palindromes, 3D Stereograms, Cloud Watching, and Rorschach Test all have something in common.  There is more to them than at first glance.  Palindromes has to do with the format of a word.  The rest are about pictures.  You have to dig a little more to get the meaning of them.  I have also seen it where someone will say numbers have meanings.  They could take the numbers that have been showing up recently in their life and use them in the lottery.  There is lots to be said when something is different than what you first saw.  Like the picture of a lady who can either look old or look young.  A lot of times it can depend on how you look at something.  Ancient painting have UFO's in them.  If you look at the painting too quickly you will miss the unidentified object.  There is the drawing of "Where's Waldo."  it could take time, but after much searching you could find all the Waldo's.  At first there seemed to be none.  There is a the puzzle that's a word search.  If you only look at letters, that is what you will see.  With more looking you will notice combinations of letters that make up words.  This subject I am talking about was only surface level at first.  You had to look further and get to the bottom of this.  The moment you discover something more it is an aha moment.

Palindromes


Not often does a phrase read the same backwards as forward.  Numbers and names can do this too.  Wouldn't it be great if the palindrome name could read the same backwards and forward.  A lot more people would be able to put the connection together.  Instead of palindrome, change the word to palap. This is not an actual word yet.  It would make palindrome more rememberable.  The words above stand out from the many that do not do what they do.

3D Sterograms

When you keep staring at a 3D Stereogram you eventually see an image in the picture.  This is like magic right before your eyes.  The image is camouflaged.  The first time you look at a 3D Stereogram it's hard to see the image the first time.  Then it becomes easier each time.  There is a technique.  The experience is eye opening to say the least.

Cloud Watching









































So many pictures of different shapes have formed in the sky by clouds.  Above are two cute pictures representing a person watching the clouds.  One has clouds in the sky and the other shows clouds looking like something.  Cloud watching can be a fun activity.




Rorschach Test


The Rorschach Test where an ink blot can look like a picture is interesting.  Not always will someone see what you see.  You have life experiences, different personalities, interests, etc.  It's what you see and can identify with that gives the meaning to something.  This is nice to notice.  When it comes to this one could say, "Oh now I see it."

Video Games and Educational Applications

There are video game applications that are free and then there are video games that cost money.  I would like to take a survey to find out how many people are paying for games and how many would never pay for a game.  Just to know.  Then there are games that are free but they have ads.  A person can pay to have the ads removed.  Are the ads that annoying that it is worth the cost to get rid of them?  Some free video games or educational applications could cost more money if you want to continue to play.  There are even games that you get for free and then can pay to get more to help advance you in a game.  Is that cheating?

Before the phone games were around there were Arcade games that cost a quarter.  The older folks remember them. The arcades were full of people playing them and even lines for certain games. This was a big business.  And now it is through the computers and phones.

What is next?  Probably virtual games or educational types of ways to learn.  At some point we should be able to play a game where we are actually in them.  Or educational applications that make learning more fun and entertaining.  Imagine being able to visit a country that is in your home.  I know nothing is like the real thing, but it can possibly help give you a better understanding.  You could have a teacher infront of a blackboard in your house going over a subject from a class and then interact with you.  Again you will be able to get the free version that is limited or pay for a version with no ads.

3D games and educational applications are coming.  By the time you are reading this you might already be using 3D games that pop out at you.  Certain movies are great to see in 3D and the same is going to be for playing games.  Now instead of something that you had to tap on a keyboard or on your phone to get points, the picture will be right infront of you.

There will be robots that will challenge us physically and mentally.  It could cost money for the robot or the robot could be free and then cost money to use.  You could even be using the robot for free and then your robot could be displaying or voicing ads.

You used to have to leave your home to play a game or get educated, now you do it on a phone anywhere.  A lot more is coming and we are ready...

Favorite Month

What is your favorite month?  One person told me that his favorite month is November because that month has his birthday in it.  I like my birthday because when I am writing down a date on a form, I never forget the day.  I wish every day was my birthday so I would never have to look up a date.  Everyone would probably say their favorite month is the one that they were born in.

Here is a question that will have many varied answers.  What is your second favorite month?  Some peoples answers will be determined by the weather.  People might like to go to the beach during certain months or like to go skiing during the winter.  Others might like a particular month because of a holiday.  A second favorite month can even be chosen by the profession you work in.  For example a teachers second favorite month could be any month that they do not have to work.  Or teachers might choose the month that the school year starts because they like to work or to see their students.  So what is your second favorite month and why?
